Summary

Thomas W. Bacchus School is a K–6 elementary school serving 315 students in the Kearns area as part of the Granite District. It is smaller than most nearby elementary schools and serves a community where several schools face attendance and academic challenges.

The school’s latest results show significant academic concerns. It ranked 529th out of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 6th percentile statewide, although this was an improvement over the 1st percentile the previous year. Average proficiency was approximately 22.8% in English language arts, 20.3% in mathematics, and 24.3% in science—below both district and state averages. Fifth grade was the most serious pressure point, with proficiency of 17.0% in ELA, 9.4% in math, and 20.8% in science. There were encouraging gains in third- and fourth-grade math and in science, but the overall pattern remains weak and will require sustained improvement.

Attendance is another important concern: 33.8% of students were chronically absent, or about one in three, compared with lower rates statewide. However, attendance does not fully explain the school’s results. Nearby Diamond Ridge School had much stronger proficiency, a 41st-percentile state ranking, and 17.7% chronic absenteeism. Similarly sized Jim Bridger School performed better in most tested subjects despite having higher absenteeism. Other nearby schools, including South Kearns School, West Kearns School, and Hunter School, also generally ranked higher. Key priorities for Thomas W. Bacchus School are improving attendance, strengthening fifth-grade math and science instruction, and learning from stronger local schools.
